I've been playing on the Gamepass version (which was gifted to me by a friend). It's not spectacular performance on my 8th gen i7 and 6700K...but it's playable. I'm enjoying myself. I'm averaging around 25fps in game. Only setting I really modified is the Volumetric setting...set that to low. Playing at 1440p.

Once they get him stopped, get him out of the vehicle, and have his hands up, he's surrendering. He got multiple conflicting commands....and with the presence of the dog he was rightfully concerned they were going to have it tackle him...that's exactly what happened. So his concern about the dog probably caused him to ignore a command or two, because he was fearing the dog attacking him. Take the dog out of the equation and he probably surrenders peacefully and obeys commands. Conflicting commands and the presence of the dog are absolutely the problems here.

They will be put on paid leave and any lawsuit filed will be thrown out because of qualified immunity...even though the dog never should have come out of the holding vehicle. Could have a case of excessive force, but I doubt it. All of it will be excused as part of the police work, even the mauling.

Bridge mode on the ISP router is what you want. Then it just passes through the internet connection to the internal router on the edge of your network. It's what I do with Comcast.

Shady browser continues to do shady stuff, news at 11. /s

I disagree that the admin of an instance doesn't have the right to moderate it how they wish. By joining the server you agree to let that admin control what content you see on your instance. That's how instances work. It's still on you to agree/disagree with the admin and how they run the server. That's why other servers exist and you have the complete right to associate with who you wish, or even run your own instance and run it how you like.

I do not agree with the people wanting to control other servers by trying to force defederating from threads. Independent admins running their own server is what the Fediverse is built upon.

I have confidence the mastodon instance I'm on, Fosstodon, as well as this instance of kbin, would choose the defederation at this point...as it's the point of meta becoming a walled garden. Fosstodon is all about free and open...so it goes against their very nature. They refused the invite to join the NDA bound discussion because that goes against their principles. Right now I feel like Ernest and the team running kbin.social feel very much the same way. If I turn out to be wrong about either....well that's the point I chose to find another instance. Step 3 is my own defederation point. The moment you start closing off your walled garden is the moment you lose a lot of the Fediverse.

You do your own thing....defederate if you wish....but don't let Threads kill the Fediverse because you wanted to control an instance you're not on.

In Progress, needs tweaking:
Making sure our AC only turns on when it can efficiently cool the house. Useful when we dip into the 50's for lows while it's 70's+ during the day. Basically switch the thermostat to heat only to avoid the AC coming on.

In the planning stage:
Presence sensing in our bathroom to turn the light on for my dad in the middle of the night. Can't use PIR motion detection as my dad moves very slow these days and actually defeats the PIR sensor in our hallway night light. I'm thinking mmWave is the way to go. Might try presence sensing when someone is on the toilet, turn the fan on, again, because sometimes he forgets.

Just getting started really with automations right now.

Didn't give the billionaire my money so yeah it took like 10 minutes for me to get the rate exceeded message.

I think on PC it was tolerable at launch. Definitely not perfect, but not a hot mess either. On consoles, I think I would agree with you though.
I got my fill before the first major patch hit....100%ing it and playing all paths of the main story I could find.

Doing what the OP (same result, just different software) or I posted and assigning certificates to secure your local services means you can avoid the HTTPS warning that major browsers will pop up on an unsecure (HTTP) connection. Instead of going to an internal dns name without a certificate or direct to the ip....you assign a wildcard certificate to a domain name you've setup on your local dns. You then access that service via the HTTPS protected Domain name, with no warning.

@Eddie I know the kbin dev has been adjusting the federated backend to work better with mastodon. So I think it will all get better, it'll just take time.
